Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Counterquestion - is Oracle a He or a She - or an It or a hermaphrodite
Lex,
As I remember, Microsoft Visual Basic makes a distinction like this:
IsEmpty and IsNull ??
And as we all know Bill must be a smart guy (looking at his revenues) so
I suppose this sais enough..
Greetings

Lex de Haan:
OK, there we go :-)
there is no such thing as a NULL numeric, or a NULL string, or a NULL date
-- and also, NULL is *not* the same as empty.
